New Water Service Line Installation in Silverdale, WA

New Water Service Line Installation in Silverdale: what to expect

A new line can also retire an old problem. Many Silverdale properties still run on post-mall subdivision poly with marginal pressure, and a project that needs water near Ridgetop is the moment to replace the whole feed in one run through dense hardpan up on Ridgetop.

A Silverdale owner near the Kitsap Mall usually describes a split poly line with no warning, and what we find after new water service installation is first-generation polyethylene that has gone brittle that met trench walls that slough near Dyes Inlet under tight side yards full of irrigation.

Two things decide new water service installation in Silverdale: the pipe, often first-generation polyethylene that has gone brittle, and the dirt, trench walls that slough near Dyes Inlet. We've worked both on tight side yards full of irrigation enough times to know what to bring when we lay and connect.

We've set new feeds across dense hardpan up on Ridgetop near Old Town and under gravel on Ridgetop and Island Lake cul-de-sacs. Depth to the utility's requirement, deeper under drives, gravel under and over, and a pressure test before the first lift of backfill goes in.

What's in the ground in Silverdale

When we expose polybutylene in Silverdale we recommend replacing the whole run, because the material fails from the inside and a repair in one spot leaves the same pipe everywhere else. Forty years on, those lines are splitting, and Silverdale Water District customers are finding out one high bill at a time.

Every new water service installation job is pressure tested before backfill and tied in with brass or stainless rated for burial. Interior-grade fittings corrode in trench walls that slough near Dyes Inlet; we've dug enough out from under tight side yards full of irrigation in Silverdale to know.

The job, step by step

A new water service installation visit to Silverdale runs: locates and permits, then lay and connect, then trench. The middle step is where a winter water table close to the surface and acreage out Anderson Hill Road set the pace, and buried-rated brass and stainless is what gets it done near the Kitsap Mall.

Near Island Lake the new water service installation scope is usually set by a winter water table close to the surface more than anything, with insert fittings with failed clamps second and access across 60- to 120-foot subdivision runs third. Buried-rated brass and stainless rides along regardless.

We've seen a split poly line with no warning on tight side yards full of irrigation near Bucklin Hill and pressure that drops when the sprinklers run by the Kitsap Mall. Both times the line was first-generation polyethylene that has gone brittle, the ground was trench walls that slough near Dyes Inlet, and the fix was new water service installation done once.

Silverdale coverage

Whether the new water service installation job is near the Kitsap Mall or out by Island Lake, the response is the same: our home base, buried-rated brass and stainless and pumps on board, and a crew that finishes 60- to 120-foot subdivision runs before it leaves.
